Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 100 grams Dark chocolate
• 1 tablespoon Instant coffee granules
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate, butter, and heavy cream over low heat, stirring regularly until smooth.

Step 3

Remove from heat and stir in the instant coffee granules until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out one puff pastry sheet. Spread the chocolate-coffee mixture evenly over the entire surface.

Step 5

Place the second puff pastry sheet over the first to sandwich the chocolate-coffee layer. Gently press them together.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the layered pastry into 1-inch wide strips.

Step 7

Take each strip and twist it carefully several times to form a spiral. Place the twisted strips onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to create an egg wash. Brush each twist with the egg wash to give them a golden sheen when baked.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the twists are puffed up and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the twists to cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 11

Lightly dust the Mocha Twists with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
